I agree that the sizing is larger than normal, especially the waist. I usually wear a 24 and I have the 24. The leg is slimming and it is super duper soft. I can handle a larger waist. It's nothing that a longer shirt or a belt can't fix. ;)

The Shya are the most comfortable jeans I've ever worn. I'm glad I read the previous reviews as I wear size 26 but I ordered the 25 and the fit is amazing! They are a must-have if you're looking for an all season pair. You will not regret it.

These jeans are cashmere soft, but at least two sizes too big, and on top of that they stretched after half an hour of wear. Had to return despite the cost of doing so from overseas. Not even sure what size I should have ordered for them to fit.

I absolutely love the colour of this jean!! The distressing is great and adds a bit of edge to the jean. I typically take a size 28 and they fit true to size. Very comfortable due to the stretch. Love them!!!

Generally OK for the sale price, but definitely not worth full price. Quality of denim is not very comfy, since it is not strechy and quite thick. I just feel uncomfortable in these jeans, they are tight and doesn't fit well. I took my usual size and I can put them easily, but they fell tight and uncomfy during the day anyway. Not work for me.

I do not have many Genetic Denim jeans, but loved the bone color of these. The color in person is beautiful. However, I ordered my true size 25 (I'm 5'1, 104lbs) and the fit was a bit off. They only have 1.5% elastaine in them as opposed to the normal 2% or higher in other brands. It makes a difference. Not super comfortable.

From what I've read, people have been raving about Genetic Denim, but I don't think this brand is for my body type. I am athletic build, 5'6, size 28 and I usually have minimal problems finding styles that fit, so I wanted to give GD a try. The quality looked good, but this style was very loose around the waist and thighs and is not fitted as pictured. It is not your typical stretchy, skinny jeans. More like a straight leg jean with a very straight, loose waist. Definitely, not for me. The color is nice tho. A slightly greyish, off-white. I will try and get the same color in a different brand. My usual favorite brand jeans is Citizen of Humanity.
